So last week was mid year exams. It is a very interest process to watch as you see how different students cope and react with the stress and pressure that come hand in hand with exams. When it came to marking them I was very pleased with the of all three classes. The all pretty much fitted a perfect bell curve. I had my low and my high marks, all of which was expected. There are a number of disappointed students and and number of were pleasantly surprised.
Each student did a post exam reflection which asked them to reflect and amount and quality of their revision, if they were happy with there marks, the areas they struggled and how the could improve with and a few other questions. The answers from the students were really pleasing and showed that they were taken the whole process quiet seriously and were all wanting to improve throughout the rest of the year and things to work on form finals. It was a wake up call of some and highlighted clearly that what they are currently doing is not working and the need either a new approach or to take studying a lot more seriously whereas for others it was a validation that what they are doing is working for them and is bring them success.
